    Certainly one of the more interesting new developments - the recent updates and patches brought the harvesting or mining of planets into the game.


    Before this planets were simple stellar objects that you could fly to only - but had no other interest.


    The long term aim I think is to try and make as far as possible nearly all commodities in EVE produced and marketed by players. As a trader myself I don't really make anything (unlike an industrialist that can produce ships and equipment or a miner) but I just buy and sell stuff.


    However, it is an interesting development - see info and video link below..

    Planetary Interaction (PI) is a new feature introduced in the Tyrannis expansion. It allows pod pilots from far and wide to create industrial colonies on just about any planet in the EVE universe. Additionally it is the first step toward the future integration of EVE and DUST 514, allowing pod pilots to hire mercenaries to fight over said planetary installations.
    The first phase of PI introduces a set of new commodities, extracted from and processed on planets, that will allow players to replace a number of previously NPC-seeded-only goods on the market. Some commodities can be used immediately, such as Oxygen for POS fuel, while others can be used in new blueprints to create POS and T2 components.


    This will provide a new source of income to all interested players, new and old, and even trial players as you need very little to try it out at a low level. Generally you can keep a colony running with a little attention once a day, more often if you want to optimize, or less often if you'd just like to coast along and check on your assets once in a while.


    Currently you cannot harm the facilities of other players directly, although you may be able to compete with them over specific deposits. However, when it comes time to pick up items from your colonies, you have to go there in person - at which point the normal rules of engagement apply fully.


    Planetary Interaction is a brave new frontier for all to see if you so choose - All These Worlds Are Yours

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
